Although the prolonged cold weather has put a damper on much of the fresh and salt waterfishing in our region, the Ocklawaha River continues to produce trophy sized Largemouths. On Thursday, Feb. 11, Mr. Lucas “Luke” Kemnitz (12), put on a fishing clinic for his father (Chad) and his grandfather (Terry). […]
